Routing issue: RSS working local, but not on Ghost-server

Developer help Routing
1

Hi everyone…!

Our v1 news website is in development. Nearing completion, it also needs to offer an RSS-feed.
Thanks to the Custom RSS + Ghost tutorial, it is working in my local version of Ghost, see screen shot below. :tada:
BTW, I dont know if the rss.hbs file is supposed to style the raw html shown. If it is, that rss.hbs is not working…

However, going live to our domain hosted on Ghost.io PRO , the RSS page is giving a problem. After uploading my custom theme and the routes.yaml, the site is running perfectly as usual, but now returns a 404 error page on the /rss URL. See routes.yaml file below.

Can someone tell me why and how to fix this…? :pray:

routes:
  /: home
  /rss/:
    template: rss
    content_type: text/xml

collections:
  /:
    permalink: /{primary_tag}/{day}/{month}/{year}/{slug}/
    template: index
      
taxonomies:
  tag: /{slug}/
  author: /author/{slug}/

:information_source: Solution from the Ghost Support team:

‘When a site is in private site mode, the RSS feed wouldn’t be accessible. However, once you take the site out of private site mode from within the Settings > General area, it should be visible. 🙂 You can test this by toggling off private site mode, checking the RSS feed, then you could re-enable private site mode after testing, if you’d like to keep the site private still.’
